Lyrics:

Late nights silence was my teacher
Four walls colder than a preacher’s words
Nobody stayed nobody held me
Only the echo of a heart that hurt

I learned to fight my battles in the dark
Carrying the weight that broke my heart
No hand to guide me through the rain
So I made peace with the pain

It’s hard to miss what I never had
But still I feel the loss of that
Love was just a ghost in the air
I reached for it nobody there

Loneliness raised me better than anyone ever did
Taught me how to stand when the world didn’t give
It held me close when no one else could care
It broke me then built me left me standing there
Loneliness raised me
Better than anyone ever did

I wore my scars like second skin
Survival turned to discipline
But somewhere deep a child still cries
For the love that never arrived

I see families laughing on the street
I keep my headphones loud repeat
Pretend I never wanted that life
But the truth cuts sharper than a knife

It’s hard to miss what I never had
But still I feel the loss of that
Love was just a ghost in the air
I reached for it nobody there

Loneliness raised me better than anyone ever did
Taught me how to stand when the world didn’t give
It held me close when no one else could care
It broke me then built me left me standing there
Loneliness raised me
Better than anyone ever did

Now I don’t beg I don’t chase
I just move with steady grace
If love comes maybe I’ll let it in
But loneliness
Loneliness raised me first
